So, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know a huge musical moment happened last night: “Grease: Live” premiered on FOX. And everybody LOVED IT. Why wouldn’t they? The production featured tons of our favorite dancers—not just superstar Julianne Hough, but also Karen Chuang, Haylee Roderick, Courtney Galiano, Adé Chiké Torbert and Jeremy Hudson (to name just a few). It […]
You know, it’s funny: Just the other day, I was thinking, “Hmm, I haven’t heard anything about Derek and Julianne Hough recently. They’ve really been flying under the radar, those underachievers. What are they doing with themselves?” Oh nope sorry scratch that—they are LITERALLY EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES and possibly the busiest dancers in showbiz. […]
Last year, we saw the first ever Instagram #Thanksgivingdancewars, courtesy of former “Dancing with the Stars” partners Maria Menounos and Derek Hough.

We’re all about dance prodigies this week. On Tuesday, it was a 6-year-old breakdancing champ. Today? Pre-adolescent ballroom masters. Meet Anika Baker, 10, and Carter Williams, 11, two very talented youngsters who have been chosen to represent the United States in the junior division of the elite Blackpool ballroom competition, held annually in Blackpool, England.
